Love comes after eating halberds

"Let's call this game a draw, what do you think?"

Looking at Alice Nakiri who stood there silently for a long time, Hoshino Sora thought she had been hit. He thought for a few seconds and said with a smile, hoping that this game would end in a draw.

Although it was fun to let the other party call him master, he was not willing to see a girl break her guard.

"Why? Why would you defeat me in the field that I am best at? Why is your cooking so delicious... Why am I so weak... It sounds ridiculous to still want to surpass Erina like this!?

Why is water falling out of my eyes? It's so strange. My nose is sour. Why is it like this? "

As she was eating, Alice Nakiri's eyes suddenly turned red, her voice was slightly choked, and she bit her lower lip slightly with her teeth. Being defeated in the field she was good at was really not something ordinary people could accept.

Moreover, the other party only came into contact with molecular cuisine yesterday, and she popularized many of the contents.

Thinking of this, Nakiri Alice couldn't accept it even more.

"You're right about one thing. You can't be better than Erina like you are now. No one will be dejected and shed tears after losing a game. After such a long time of hard work, do you have to deny it all just because of one failure?"

Looking at Alice Nakiri who was a little depressed, Hoshino Sora grabbed her hands and spoke with seriousness.

"But..."

Just when I was about to say that I have been immersed in it for many years, but I am not as good as you for one day and one night, my eyes met the serious and pure eyes of Hoshino Sora.

"Alice, you are very good. To be honest, I think you are at least among the top ten in the first grade. Apart from you, there should be no one in Yuanyue who is proficient in molecular cuisine."

"That's not like losing to you..."

"My dishes are dishes created by Chinese chefs over decades and hundreds of years. Strictly speaking, they are not original, but you are truly original. Your background is not as good as the accumulation of decades or hundreds of years. This is a very important thing." Normal things.”

"Then you mean that I not only lost to you, but also to the seniors who created these dishes?"

"Idiot, I mean you didn't get it at all. Wipe your tears and keep working hard. But your skin is really well taken care of. You are worthy of being a young lady from a wealthy family."

She stretched out her hand to wipe away Alice Nakiri's tears. Her tender white skin felt like touching smooth and moist jade, which really fit Hoshino Sora's various imaginations of girls.

"That's the wrong point."

Hearing Hoshino Sora's compliments to her, her nonsensical words made Alice Nakiri's face turn red as she complained.

"Ahem, in general, don't give up. Let's work hard together. Even if we can't beat me, we can beat everyone except me. In this way, even if we lose to me, won't we still be second in the world?"

Hoshino Sora said very stinkingly.

"Are you saying this because you think you will definitely become the best in the world?"

"Don't you have confidence in me?"

"How is that possible! Sooner or later I will defeat you, just wash your neck and wait!"

Amused by Hoshino Sora's words, Nakiri Alice's mood improved a lot, but her eyes were still a little dazed, and it was obvious that she was not really relieved from this incident.

"Do you know what's wrong with you?"

The conversation changed and Hoshino Sora suddenly asked.

"what is the problem?"

"You rely too much on machines. Although molecular cuisine does require machines, it cannot rely entirely on machines. I see that you rarely do it yourself from beginning to end."

"But machines can process things more perfectly. Adding too much manual labor may destroy this perfection, so I have always regarded myself as the controller of the machine."

"Then don't you become a stand-in for the machine? Anyone can be the operator. The most powerful thing is the machine. And the food you make with the machine doesn't taste as good as the food I make by hand."

"Then what should I do?"

"Change the direction of your training. I see that you don't practice cooking much at ordinary times. Your basic skills are so-so. You are too dependent on machines. You will start training tomorrow, training without machines!"

"Eh?"

"I am your master now. There shouldn't be any problem with the master giving orders to the maid, right?"

"no problem."

"Then give me a kiss."

"what?"

"Just kidding, that's all for today. From now on, just call me master in private, forget it outside. I can't stand it in public, so remember to call me sweeter."

After taking off his apron, Hoshino Sora scratched his head. Bad thing, he accidentally spoke out what was in his heart, but who doesn't like a maid who only obeys her master's orders?

"Goodbye, see you tomorrow."

----------

It was already evening when he left Alice Nakiri's house. On the way back to Yoshinori, Hoshino Sora stopped when he saw Kurokiba Ryo carrying a box of squid home.

"Hey, you just came back from buying ingredients? Why did you buy so much? Is there a party at home tonight?"

Raising his hand to greet him warmly, Hoshino Sora looked at the box in Ryo Kurokiba's hand, and then shrugged his nose. It should contain seafood, most likely squid.

Why can Hoshino Sora recognize it?Because he likes to eat squid very much.

"This is the ingredient for cooking practice in the evening."

"Can you eat so much by yourself? Do you want me to go to your house and help you sort it out?"

Looking at the boxes of squid in front of him, Hoshino Sora swallowed. A series of squid feasts suddenly appeared in his mind, with a touch of excitement in his eyes.

"up to you."

"Then I'm welcome."

After that, Hoshino Sora and Kurokiba Ryo returned home, tasted a real squid feast, and determined the final time of Shokugeki and the theme of Shokugeki.

soup.

----------

Back at Yaoriliao, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening. Hoshino Sora patted his slightly bulging belly with a look of satisfaction on his face. There was no other reason. Kurokiba Ryo was very good at cooking his favorite squid. delicious.

"What are you doing?"

"Mahru and Yumeko are competing. Come and try their cooking."

Hearing Hoshino Sora's inquiry, the nearest teacher Hiratsuka Shizu said softly.

Looking at Mahiru Shiina who lowered her head and said nothing, and Yumeko Snake Ghoul with a gentle smile, Hoshino Sora already had the answer in his heart, and then stepped forward to taste the food.

Creamy vegetable and fruit soup versus Provence stew, the theme should be vegetables, as for the taste...

The cream of fruit and vegetable soup brings a plain peace, with a rich cream flavor, but the texture of the vegetables is softer and loses the original crispness and umami. If it is based on vegetables, it feels a bit like skipping the last. Although the taste is rich and creamy, It feels great!

Provence stew brings a sweet, sour and delicious feeling, and also brings the unique fragrance of vegetables.No meat is added, and the original flavor of the vegetables is perfectly brought out.

In this case, the outcome is actually clear at a glance.

Mahiru Shiina's understanding of the topic is relatively one-sided.

Through this dish, Hoshino Sora slightly determined the strength level of Yaoriliao.

If nothing else, Kobayashi-senpai and Akanekubo-senpai are in the first echelon.

He, Yumeko Snake Ghoul is the second echelon.

Shiina Mahiru and Mito Yumei are the third echelon.

As for Shiina Mashiro, it seems that she is just a cute character at the moment. However, in Sakurasou, Shiina Mashiro is a genius in painting, and her talent is so strong that it makes people despair.

Now that the world view has been changed to the world of food, will her talent also change? If so, Mashiro Shiina may be a more terrifying genius than Erina Nakiri!

Having said that, if you can grow up to the second grade in Yuanyue, isn't your strength already recognized?

Looking at Mashiro Shiina who was comforting Mahiru Shiina in front of her, Hoshino Sora thought in her heart, what would her cooking be like?

While thinking, Yumeko Snake Gho walked towards Mashiro Shiina.

"Mashiro-senpai, please have a Shokugeki contest with me!"

With a clear and firm voice, Yumeko Snake Gho walked up to Shiina Mashiro.

"Eh?"

Hearing Yumeko Snake's voice, Mashiro, who was comforting Mahiru, tilted his head, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

No.16 Chapter [-] Yumeko Snake vs. Mashiro Shiina

"Do you want to challenge Mashiro-chan?"

There was a bit of disbelief in her words. Akanekubo Momo looked at Yumeko Snake's expression and opened her mouth several times, but in the end she still didn't say anything.

"Is that okay? Mashiro-senpai."

Staring seriously at Mashiro Shiina in front of her, Yumeko Snake Ghoul seemed to be joking but also speaking seriously. The cute look of the girl was really hard to associate with a strong person.

However, Mashiro Shiina is indeed a second-year student in Totsuki.

In other words, she is the king who survived the cruel selection, so there is no doubt about her strength.

Although she has always been secretive, no one doubts her strength, including Yumeko Snake. At this time, her eyes are burning with fighting spirit, and her red eyes are exuding a frightening light.

"Okay, when."

"Now you can."

"it is good."

Ever since, the battle between the transfer students and the aborigines started again, but this time the target of the duel changed from Mahiru to Mashiro, fighting the small one to the big one (crossed out).

"Can I let the only boy present, Hoshino-kun, decide on the theme?"

Turning to look at Hoshino Sora who was eating melon, Yumeko Yumeko suggested that the people here are more or less related to Shiina Mashiro and know what she is good at and what she is not good at. Let Hoshino-kun, who is also a freshman, decide the theme. , is undoubtedly the fairest.

"Huh? Let me decide the theme..."

"If we start now, we won't have much time to prepare the ingredients required for the theme, right? In that case, let's make a dish with the remaining ingredients in the kitchen as the theme.

It's not early now, everyone is a little sleepy, so the time is limited to three to ten minutes. "

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Hoshino Sora was stunned for a moment, then held his chin and thought for a moment, and came up with the most feasible plan at present.

When all kinds of materials are incomplete, forcing a theme will not give full play to the strengths of the two players. In this case, letting them play freely is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Use the remaining ingredients? It's a good decision."

Having made up their minds, Yumeko Snake Ghoul and Mashiro Shiina both went into the kitchen to prepare. Seeing this, Sora Hoshino also followed in. He was very interested in Mashiro's cooking skills.

How will this genius from Sakurasou perform in Yaoriliao?

He is curious!

However, Shiina Mashiro's next performance made him somewhat silent. What was this guy going to do, a simple drink?Although it was considered cooking, it was a little different from what he thought!

I saw a row of cups on the table not far away. Mashiro Shiina took the remaining fruits in the kitchen and started to manipulate them. After watching it for several minutes, it felt like the operations of the clerk in an ordinary fruit tea shop outside, nothing special. place.

Can this kind of thing really compare to Snake Ghoul Yumeko’s cooking?

While thinking, Hoshino Sora looked at Yumeko Snake Ghoul. This guy chose a dish with wheat flour as the main ingredient. Under the 30-minute time limit, did he choose waffles that are relatively simple to make?

The technique is really beautiful!

Sift wheat flour, add four spoons of sugar, two spoons of baking powder, half a spoon of vanilla, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and half a spoon of salt. Stir evenly and add two beaten eggs.

Continue to stir and add chopped lemon zest, milk, and continue to stir until a paste forms.

During the whole process, Yumeko Snake performed very skillfully, as if she had practiced it countless times, without any unnecessary movements. It was like watching an art piece.

After finishing, peel three green apples and cut them into dices the size of your little finger and add them to the pancake. This can not only increase the taste of the muffin but also add the flavor of the apple. It is a bold innovation.

Hoshino Sora nodded in praise. The waffles made in this way have a unique texture and have more flavor than waffles made by traditional methods. Good integration is a bonus.

Heat oil in a pan, pour in waffle batter, fry with a spoon until both sides are golden brown, repeat this operation several times, then build the fried waffles into a pagoda shape from large to small, and pour good amber on top Color wild honey.

The sweet smell permeates the air, mixed with the unique aroma of waffles, and the green apple meat is fried to a brown color, which also exudes a fruity aroma.

Yumeko Snake's technique was sharp. There were still more than ten minutes before the end of the game. She had already finished cooking, picked up the waffles and walked outside. When she passed Hoshino Sora, she gave him a slight smile.

In a simple meeting, Hoshino Sora saw her desire for victory in Yumeko Snake Gho's eyes. As she passed by, his eyes also turned to another chef in the kitchen, Mashiro Shiina.

With the addition of butterfly pea flowers, the drink in front of the girl revealed its full picture. It was a deep blue sea, with blueberries as the base and lemon as the flavor. The cup was mixed with various colors. In this blue, it looked like a swimming fish. , like coral, so beautiful, as if this is not a drink, but a vivid picture!

"Want to try it?"

"Is that okay? But I think yours is more suitable for viewing. Let me drink it and it will destroy its beauty. That would be a bit too cruel."

Sure enough, Zhenbai or Zhenbai is so beautiful as a drink, like a work of art, but as food, how does such a thing taste?
